Ubisoft has announced a trio of Assassin’s Creed Chronicles games, standalone 2.5D platformers coming to new-gen and PC this year.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China was announced earlier this year as part of the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass, but it will also be available as a stadalone title from April 23.

China will be followed-up by Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, with all three developed by Climax Studios (Silent Hill: Origins, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories) in collaboration with Ubisoft Montreal.

The PC version of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin will split that platform’s Dark Souls II playerbase, as it’s not compatible with the existing game.

Scholar of the First Sin is a Director’s Cut of all Dark Souls II content that includes new enemy placement, map shortcuts, and gameplay design; various performance upgrades; and new weapons, armour, and NPCs.

It also contains all three of the game’s DLC chapters (Crown Of The Sunken King, Crown Of The Old Iron King, and Crown Of The Ivory King), and increases the maximum number of simultaneous online players from four to six.

Teachers from more than a dozen schools in North West England are threatening to report to the police and social services any parents who let their children play restricted games.

As reported by The Guardian, the warning was issued by the Nantwich Education Partnership, a group of 15 primary schools and one secondary academy in Cheshire, after it was discovered that some children had been playing or watching games that contain unsuitable levels of violence and sexual content.

Playing such games or accessing certain social media sites such as Facebook and WhatsApp could lead to “early sexualised behaviour” and leave children “vulnerable to grooming for sexual exploitation or extreme violence”, said the teachers.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is now available on PC, but a number of key features are missing.

The biggest omission is that of online multiplayer, which is expected to be patched in "within three months following the game's release", according to Koei Tecmo. Until then, the game is discounted 10 percent.

Last Round on PC also doesn’t include Steam Achievements or support Steam Cloud, and there is no support for keyboard customisation.
